• Nov 27, 1997: gimp v-0.99.15 (1B) rebuilt with DR2.1update6-shared as RPM packages with a ppc patch extracted from one at ftp.linuxppc.org, since the previous release (1A) had some problem with plug-ins. The packages install gimp related files under /usr. If you want to install them under /usr/X11R6, you had better get one from ftp.linuxppc.org.

[2] How to Build GIMP from SRC

# cp <somewhere>/gtk+-971109.tar.gz /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

# vi gtk+-971109.spec

See gtk+-971109.spec for what's acturally written.

# rpm -ba --clean gtk+-971109.spec > rpm.ba.gtk.log&

# tail -f rpm.ba.gtk.log

....

^C

# rpm -i <somewhere>/gimp-0.99.15-1.src.rpm

# vi gimp-0.99.15.spec

....

Apply the ppc patch extracted from the ftp.linuxppc.org

version.

....

# rpm -ba --clean gimp-0.99.15.spec > rpm.ba.gimp.log&

# tail -f rpm.ba.gimp.log

....

^C

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/gimp-data-min-0.99.15-1.src.rpm

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/gimp-data-extras-0.99.15-1.src.rpm

[3] How to Install The Precompiled Binary Packages

# rpm -i gtk+-971109-1A.ppc.rpm

# rpm -i gimp-0.99.15-1B.ppc.rpm

# rpm -i gimp-data-min-0.99.15-1.ppc.rpm

# rpm -i gimp-data-extras-0.99.15-1.ppc.rpm

This installs gimp under /usr. The previous version installs everything under /usr/local/gimp. You can uninstall the previous version by just typing:

# rm -rf /usr/local/gimp

Before using gimp, remove or move the old .gimp directory in your home directory.

$ cd

$ mv .gimp .gimp.old

$ gimp

Caution:
Under 256-color environment, button icons don't show themselves up properly. If any other color-intensive application is currently running, "gimp" even fails to start. Use 32000 colors or more.
